We have access to the most state-of-the-art hearing sciences on the planet. Every patient who visits Michels Hearing will be provided with a truly customized, personal hearing experience which cannot be found anywhere else. Hearing is our passion. Hearing loss is more common than you think, affecting millions of Americans.
Most people don't realize the significance of untreated hearing loss and the issues it causes. Approximately 12 percent of the U.S. population - 38 million Americans - have a significant hearing loss. One in every three people over the age of 65 - a total of 165 million people worldwide - lives with hearing loss.
A 12-year study conducted by the neurology department at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine found that untreated hearing loss increased the risk for dementia. Of those with tinnitus, about 16 million have severe enough tinnitus to seek medical attention. About two million patients are so seriously debilitated that they cannot function on a "normal, " day-to-day basis.

I am very pleased with the whole experience with Chris, from my first meeting to my first fitting today. He's professional, very knowledgeable, and passionate, without being pushy. The Audibel hearing aids are wonderful, too. It is great being able to hear all the sounds and voices around me again – the turn signal in my car actually does click. I thought it was broken 🙄

Chris is amazing, he spent a lot of time with me making sure the sound that I was receiving was perfect. He is excellent, really cares that you leave there with a smile on your face. Would highly recommend him and will always refer him to all my friends and family. Thank you Chris, it’s a different world out there for me now that I can hear much better!

I have been a client of Michel's Hearing Aid Center in Wyomissing for a number of years and I am on my second set of hearing aids. Chris has done a great job keeping up with the improvements in technology over the years and utilizes it to ensure that clients get the best possible results with their hearing aids. My hearing loss presents challenges but Chris does his utmost to make sure that I get maximum results from my hearing aids. Great place to deal with!

I was initially very apprehensive about getting a hearing aid. Chris's testing and very comprehensive explanations convinced me to try them.Then when I received them and he went thru the impressive computer analysis to actually tailor them to my specific hearing loss I was very happy with the results. His promise to continue with follow-up appointments for adjustments gave me confidence that my improvement in hearing will continue to better my life.

Chris is a true professional. He takes the time to make sure you are 100% satisfied with your hearing aid before you leave. I was there today after not being there for awhile and he took the time to perform a hearing test on me just to be sure nothing has changed. Thank You for taking good care of me. I highly recommend Chris and Michel’s if you are experiencing any type of hearing loss.

This is Charles Maniaci. Chris Michels helped with adjustments to my Audibles today. By the time I was ready to leave, my hearing had improved greatly! Chris is always the total professional. He always goes the extra mile. Anyone who would ever ask me where to go for help with a hearing problem, would be directed by me to see Chris Michels. Plus, We Are PENN STATE!!! Thank you, Chris.

My recent visit to Michels Hearing aid was very nice. Chris noticed very quickly that one of my hearing aids was not functioning, which explains the issues that I was having lately. He set up a repair quickly. If not for Chris, I probably would not have noticed this for a while. Chris is a very professional person who is dedicated to his patients and their care. Many thx Chris!!!
